Moto Jackets Aren't "Out" Per Se, But I'm Wearing This Far More Elegant Trend Instead

While we wouldn't say that moto jackets are every truly "out," they're definitely losing favor. This spring, we're in the midst of what I feel like is a lightweight jacket renaissance. Never has there been such a plethora of cool, fresh, and forward styles to choose from. It's a great moment for anyone who's dressing for transitional weather or simply likes to use a jacket as the hero piece in their outfit. With the rise of so many new jacket trends, it means that traditional styles aren't popping as much this season and that's true of the good old moto jacket. I'd never go so far as to say it's outdated because I think it's more of a trend-resistant piece, but it's markedly absent these days.
In its place is one jacket that I find to be far more elegant and chic, but no less versatile, and that's a funnel-neck bomber jacket. Funnel necklines have been trending throughout the winter, but the trend is evolving for warmer weather in the form of these lighter bomber jackets that are finished with the tall neckline. They're coming in cool leather options that could easily be a 1:1 swap for a moto jacket, but they're also popping up in denim, nylon, and cotton-twill fabrications, too.
Ahead, take a look at how celebs and fashion girls are styling the jacket trend for spring and then shop the best in the market, according to me.
See the Trend in Action
Bella Hadid's Saint Laurent leather jacket takes the cake. It's sleek with just the right amount of slouch.
Proof that the jacket trend takes something as simple as jeans and ankle boots to an entirely new level.
Edge up a pair of suiting trousers by styling them with a funnel-neck leather jacket.
Alternately, wearing one over a billowy maxi skirt strikes such a cool contrast between soft and tough elements.
This silhouette in suede is something else.
All the best-dressed women are wearing their jackets buttoned up as tops.
This rich shade of cherry red just feels so right.
They pair flawlessly with a shirt and menswear tie à la the Saint Laurent spring 2025 runway.
